- ciupicri 15y agoThanks for coming with a statistic instead of another anecdote. Though this statistic does not say anything about industries, so the "silicone" industry might not be the only one to blame. Of course, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop doing bad things, just that we aren't as abnormal as others (or ourselves) label us. P.S. All I was able to find quickly about this statistic is an editorial review from http://www.amazon.com/Never-Called-Rape-Recognizing-Acquaintance/dp/0060925728 http://www.amazon.com/Never-Called-Rape-Recognizing-Acquaint... : Based on first-person accounts, scholarly studies and data from a nationwide survey of college campuses conducted by Ms. magazine, freelance journalist Warshaw draws a devastating portrait of men who rape women they know. The Ms. survey reveals that 25% of the college women polled have been the victims of rape or attempted rape, 84% of the victims were acquainted with the attacker and 57% of the rapes happened on dates. There are some important technical details missing, like how many respondents were, what's the estimated error and so on. I'll check your blog next week for further details.
